The Lininger GroupSpeaking & Briefings
Talks that come from the operating record, not the conference circuit.
Rebecca S. Lininger delivers keynotes, executive briefings, and workshops drawn from two decades of building AI, commercial, and industrial systems at P&L scale. Available for corporate events, boards, policymaker briefings, universities, and industry conferences.
AI & Operations
The economics and execution of intelligence.
Success with AI: Beyond the Technology
Why AI programs succeed or fail on operating discipline, not model selection. What separates the enterprises earning margin from AI from those funding pilots, drawn from building 20+ AI products across an $8B revenue platform.
Replacing SaaS with Agentic AI
How small and mid-size businesses can retire per-seat software stacks with choreographed agents, cutting fixed cost while gaining capability. Practical architecture, honest economics, and the traps that turn savings into runaway compute bills.
New Product Introduction at the Digital-Industrial Nexus
Lessons from launching the world's first 10,000 PSI hydrogen storage system and enterprise AI platforms: how disciplined NPI works when the product is both physical and cognitive, and why the AI economy is won at that intersection.
Leadership & Talent
People systems that outperform.
Mentoring Unicorns
Turning latent talent into productivity and innovation powerhouses. The system behind an 80% direct-report promotion rate: how to spot undervalued people, build them deliberately, and multiply a team's output without adding headcount.
Leading Teams That Love Their Jobs
A working leader's guide to mentoring: the cadences, standards, and honest conversations that produce teams who stay, grow, and deliver. Built for managers who want retention through engagement, not perks.
Inspiring Women in Tech
A candid account of an engineering career from turbine floors to enterprise AI: what actually moved the needle, what nearly derailed it, and how women can claim technical and commercial authority in rooms not built for them.
Inspiring the Next Generation in the Age of AI
For students and early-career audiences: which human capabilities compound in value as AI scales, how to build them, and why the age of AI rewards makers, owners, and mentors.
